Synopsis
The story of a mentally and emotionally challenged young man who becomes a suicidal sociopath. This is not a mystery, but the story has a somewhat mysterious ending. The story will challenge the imagination, and only reader will know, or not know, how the story ends., A young man is born with a mysterious birthmark. The birthmark haunts his tortured soul 24/7. A day doesn't go by when this young man is not confronted by what, to him, is not only unfair, but is such a grotesque representation of what a human being should look like that he begins to harbor enough resentment, bitterness and hatred to kill those he deems normal, and/or those he considers abnormal. His obsession to kill others is superseded only by his overwhelming desire to kill himself. In fact, suicide soon becomes his reason for being, his raison d'etre. Things are moving along rather nicely. Some interesting and intriguing seques take place until he meets, Olivia, the librarian. Prior to meeting Olivia he spent most of his time living in his tree-house, a secluded domain, in the bowels of which, he spent most his time reading and writing. He'd always been enamored by writers, poets and the books they seemed mysteriously( muse-inspired) able to write. At a young age he'd already fallen in love with the English language, but now, in the world of his imagination, he'd become helplessly smitten, and he wanted nothing more than to become a writer, so long as he lived, of course. Olivia, who never acknowledged his birthmark, touched him in a place he'd previously thought untouchable. The hope she manifested in life, particularly in him and his potential, created an avoidance-approach manner of living that caused even a greater degree of confusion and angst. He wanted to live. He wanted to die. But he knew he couldn't have it both ways. After his last meeting with Olivia he begins to believe in something, and/or just maybe someone greater than himself. His determination to live runs headlong into a mystical confrontation with an evil force greater than himself, and he pays the ultimate price. Before reading this story people should be forewarned that others have read it and laughed so hard and so long that they died., "The only gift better than a book is time enough to read it." by Richard Ilnicki. "Your body follows your mind. Where are you taking yours?" by Richard Ilnicki. These two quotes can, to a large extent, sum up my life, except for unconditional love that has come to me from God, and the love He has let me share with others. "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. "It still thrills me when I see a person reading a hardback or paperback novel; something about those "Good Old Days" still exists in spite of living in an age of artificial intelligence, handheld computers, and robots. However, just because I get a thrill from turning pages, doesn't mean I'd be disappointed if someone bought my book on Kindle. Anyway, as much as I would like to be widely read as an author, I know that my writing requires work on behalf of the reader, and even sometimes requires a dictionary. Alas, I have accepted the fact that I will never make the New York Times Best Seller list, but as long as I am able I will continue to write primarily for myself. Don't get me wrong; when someone reads my work and comments on it, I get an endorphin rush like no other. In conclusion, I recently bought myself and a few friends a mug that says, "They say you can't buy happiness, but you can buy books and that's about the same thing." Thank you for being a reader; I love you. Book jacket.
